Mmmmm....Weelicious Fans

We are greatful to Weelicious for their wonderful review of our Overall Aprons. We know that the boys are tough customers when it comes to aprons so we are happy to hear ours passed the test. Read on to see what the folks at Weelicious had to say:

In my experience, one of the major challenges as a parent is getting kids dressed every day. From the time kids first start to assert their independence around the age of two, having choice in what they wear is super important for them. Control is a very big deal for children and next to food, clothing is paramount.

Kenya has gotten to the point where he not only insists on picking out what he wants to wear, but he also negotiates how he wants and when he’s ready to be changed. I feel like I have to strategize every morning before I go in his room just so I have a plan of attack.

Keeping this in mind, when I got this adorable Beansoup apron, I wasn’t even sure if Kenya would let me put it on him. Fortunately, both sets of his loving grandparents recently got him a mini play kitchen so he could cook just like mommy. All I had to say was “do you want to put on a apron and do some cooking” and his arms flew in the air for me to place it on him. He loved that he could put utensils in the pockets and get to work making a feast. I love it because now he wants to wear his apron every time he eats, and so he doesn’t mess up his outfit before we head out for the day.

Beansoup makes 3 different styles: chef, cobbler and overall aprons, all in different fabrics for each cook’s unique style. I can’t even tell you how comfortable and sweet they look on future chefs. One step closer to culinary school!

Lights, Camera, Beansoup Aprons!


This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of being guests at the Jr. Chef's of America cooking contest in the Sur La Table kitchen at the Grove in Los Angeles. Not only were there some very cool kids who were auditioning on camera to be the next Jr. Chef...they were all wearing some very cool aprons.
We just happened to capture this great shot of one of the contestants. Go to www.jrchefsofamerica.com for more information and browse around...they sell our aprons too!
